The Livestock Technology Branch was established in 1993 following a restructuring of the Agriculture and Rural Services Division. It replaced the Animal Industry Division in most of its functions.

Between 1995 and 2000, the Branch was also responsible for overseeing the operations of the Ministry's eastern field offices. Its name during this period was Livestock Technology and Eastern Region; however its activities remained the same. In 2001, the Branch was moved to the Innovation and Competitiveness Division, which took over some of the functions of the Agriculture and Rural Division after its dissolution.

The Livestock Technology Branch is responsible for dealing with issues relating to livestock and poultry management and coordinates the delivery of extension programs across Ontario. The group promotes high quality livestock production through the use of on-farm quality assurance, production systems, genetics, nutrition and animal health improvement programs.
